Group: Cloud Computing, SaaS & Virtualization Discussion: How do you explain cloud computing to your colleagues? How about considering the old POTS? You have an authentication method (line) and you are provided with access to the function but you are only charged for what you consume. The differential, is that you are likely to be charged telephone rental or installation fees, but when you consider you need core infrastructure or services to access a cloud offering, there is a close similarity. POTS was flexible and scalable and many people used the same back-end infrastructure! Cloud services have an underpinning cost to access; it is just that often that is consider a sunk cost for many organisations. Posted by Justin Stark
